Anyone here ride them, or have ever ridden one?

I have a Tennessee Walking horse. He is a four year old black gelding named Poison. I got him in May-June 2013, when he was three. I named him myself, as he is all black(not a hair of white) which is how Poison came up. He is awfully sweet and calm. The man I bought him from(who my instructor is close with and knows well) had him since he was a yearling. He was to be a show horse, but didn't quite make the cut. However, due to his gentle nature and willingness, my instructor actually called the man and asked if he had anymore like Poison. He told her, "It'll be a long time before I see a horse like that again."

Here's a pic of him last summer:

Can anyone give a guess to his height? (Hint: He was 15.3 hh when I got him.)
